So the rear hub on our Yuba Kombi appears to be somewhat fooked right now - play in freehub, possibly a bent axle to boot. I'm not coming up with much searching for "cargo bike rear hub" - is there anything specific, any good hub to look for?
To be more specific, this is a 135mm (I believe.. I should check that), bolt-on, HG, 6-bolt disc hub, and the freehub is 10-speed (MTB) so that's basically what I'm looking for, a direct swap. Oh, and not a hub with a motor in it.
If there's nothing out there but cheap-tat like this Yuba hub appears to be then are there other options like a solid-axle swap on a cup-n-cone (e.g. Deore) hub? Unfortunately needs to be able to take the brunt of two small kids on the back and a mid-drive motor + parent up front.
